Abstract
Results: The outcome measures of the two groups were comparable at baseline (p>0.05). Following exercise training, reduced severity of pain and leg cramps, as well as fatigue and improved sleep quality were observed in the exercise group (p<0.05). Control group showed an increase in the severity of leg cramps and a reduction in sleep quality (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Exercise training reduces the severity of nocturnal leg cramps and leg fatigue and improves sleep quality. A regular exercise program can be a useful alternative treatment for the management of CVI symptoms.
